Rush is a biographical action film about Formula 1 champion driver Niki Lauda who returned to the race track just weeks after a horrific crash in 1976 that almost took his life to challenge his rival James Hunt.
The movie is set during a glamourous and fearless time in Formula 1 racing, a sport where there is no margin for error and death could come at any moment.
Rush is directed by Academy Award winning director Ron Howard and stars Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Bruhl.
Published by Drive, Chris Harris takes on the Volvo S60 Polestar, a high performance sub-brand for improved acceleration.
The car was driven from Sweden to the UK to avoid the snow, but instead it snowed in the UK. Still, Harris got a chance to play with it. It’s a small-volume concept for now, but the team had a C63 on display to add some perspective.
The saloon, with manual gearbox offers more than 500hp from a transversely mounted V6 engine and described by Harris as a “loopy” car even by loopy standards and makes for an extremely unusual S60 driving experience.
Watch the Volvo S60 Polestar in action below:
